BANGALORE: To effectively check the mounting pollution levels in Bangalore city, the Karnataka government is considering implementing a vehicle registration holiday for a month.
 
 
Higher vehicle taxes and making maintenance costs of vehicles higher, compulsory conversion of transport vehicles to CNG fuels are among the other measures being thought over.
 
 
The vehicle registration holiday would also involve complete stoppage of registration of all vehicles.
 
 
The car sellers in the city feel that government's decision will negatively effect the car sales market. In Bangalore, on an average at least 15 cars are registered and sold by each of the dealers. According to market sources, overall, almost 1000 new vehicles are registered everyday in the city.
